ULTRASOUND SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SETTING INTIMA-MEDIA THICKNESS MEASURING REGION

摘要

PURPOSE: An ultrasound system and ultrasound method for setting an IMT(Intima-Media Thickness) measurement area are provided to improve accuracy of an IMT measurement by automatically setting an IMT measurement area based on a double sign of an internal carotid artery and an external carotid artery. CONSTITUTION: An ultrasound data obtaining unit(110) obtains ultrasound data from an object. A processor(120) detects a double sign of an internal carotid artery and an external carotid artery. A user input unit(130) receives input information of the user. A storage unit(140) stores the obtained ultrasound data. A display unit(150) displays measurement information from the processor.
